NATIONAL BANKS GAINING Though Deposits Jfot Guaranteed, They Show Large Increase Guar antee Fund Deposited in Banks Without Interest. GfTHRIE. Okla.. Fpt. (Special.) There re some features of the Okla homa bank deposit guarantee law that William J. Bryan does not refer to In Ms campaign boosts of the "Oklahoma Idea." For Instance, a statement was recently prepared by Governor C. N. Has kell and given to the public throuch Roy oakes. secretary of the State Banking Board, quoting figures to show that the deposits In the Oklahoma guaranteed banks have Increased J4.509.:21 since the law went into effect on February 4 last. Mr. Bryan comments lovingly upon this fact, as proving that the people like the deposit guarantee plan. What Mr. Bryan does not dwell. upon, however. Is the fact that Increase In the deposits in the guar anteed banks Is due to the deposit in those bnks of a special fund belonging to the state, controlled bv state officials and amounting to J3.600.000. The money belongs to the state .school fund and not to private Individuals, as the campaign orators seem to want the people to believe. Increase Alt Comes From State. j Under ths statehood act Congress set ' aside 15.000.000 of the proceeds -f the ! land sale for the benefit of the Oklahoma I school fund. When the new state began I business. Jl.S00.0n0 of this amount was ! withdrawn, and the balance of $3,500,000 left In the United States Treasury. After the deposit guarantee law went Into ef fect, however, the Governor withdrew the $3.&oo.000 and deposited It In the state banks. That accounts for prac tically all of the Increase In the deposits boasted of by Mr. Bryan. The same statement shows that during the same period the state withdrew from the Natlonai, or unsecured, banks a total ef JS69.919. These figures are- intended by the Democratic spellbinders to show that the depositors' guarantee law has resulted In a great Increase of deposits In state banks protected by the guaran tee fund and a correspondingly large loss to the unsecured banks. Unsecured Banks Have Increase. A close examination of the figures, however, shows that during the period from February 14 to May 14 the Na- tional tanks actually gained In deposits from sources outside the state funds $9.112. Another feature of the guarantee plan, as it Is working In Oklahoma, has not been dwelt upon by Mr. Bryan. It Is the . fact that the fund which is being held to guarantee losses by bank failures is deposited In some bank or banks of the state, and the bankers who are getting the use of the money are not required to pay Interest upon It to the state. This furnishes a snug sum upon which some one may speculate without any outlay of Interest. If he should so desire. HARRY THAW TO BE CITED Failure to Meet His Creditors May Cause Trouble. PITTSBURG. Sept. 12. A petition for a certificate citing Harry K. Thaw for contempt for his failure to attend the second meeting of his creditors here yes terday was hied before Referee in Bank ruptcy Blair today by Mr. Boyd, of Poughkeepsie.. N. Y., representing a Poughkeepste hotelkeeper. Mr. Blair later issued the certificate. It k now believed that Mr. Boyd will file the certificate in the United States Court and ask for a rule to force Thaw to come to Pittsburg and show cause why he should not be punished for con tempt. This will probably be done next week. Roger O'Mara, trustee for Thaw, re turned from Poughkeepsie today.

THAW'S JAIL IS CHANGED Sheriff Chanler Gets Kid of Unwel come Prisoner. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. Sept. 12.

Thaw would have been transferred to White Plains on that date, and the effect ot Judge Mills- new order Is simply to send him there a week earlier than Intended. The application was made by Edward Perkins, the attorney for Sheriff Chan ler. who has never liked being custodian of Thaw, and who took advantage of the report of Secretary Mclaughlin of the State Prison Commission on conditions In the Poughkeepsie Jail to ask the court to transfer Thaw.

RL GEAI 269-271 Morrison Street "What is a Grand Piano?" we asked one of Portland's prominent musi cians yesterday. " "What is a Grand Piano?" this man of music and temperament replied. "In the heart of the woods a storm is raging; trees, centuries old, are the keys; the mighty performer is the wind. Hear the sighs and sobs, the shouts and whispers, the excitement and accentuation, the melancholy, the "intense ness and the power, the vibration of agitated branches, of the sweeping of unseen hands. Is it not a glorious, swelling anthem? Fluttering leaves and little twigs, like grace notes, ripple down. Suddenly all is rest; peace and contentment and quiet; the storm is over. .The magnificent melody ceases. "What this means in Nature that is the grand piano to the musician. A grand piano ah, it is the culmination, the cornucopia of the world's most glorious music. It is the instrument for genius. It thrills and responds and throbs. It glories at the master's touch."
